omg I just saw the news and I am saddened to her that the Notorious Bettie Page has passed away.she was 85.smh.I loved her.for those of you who dont know who she is Bettie is the queen of pin-ups.Bettie Page was the brunet pinup queen with a shoulder-length pageboy hairdo and kitschy bangs.she had a great impact on the 1960's sexual revolution.Bettie took her pictures where no other model had ever gone before, posing with whips spanking other woman or in bondage.her pictures are retro and also very modern.she stood out from other pin-up models in her day with her risque photos and signature bangs.who knew this ex secretary had so much potential?a cult figure, Page was most famous for the estimated 20,000 4-by-5-inch black-and-white glossy photographs taken by amateur shutterbugs from 1949 to 1957. the photos showed her in high heels and bikinis or negligees, bondage apparel or nothing at all.decades later, those images inspired biographies, comic books, fan clubs, websites, commercial products, playing cards, dress-up magnet sets, action figures, zippo lighters, shot glasses a film about her life and times, "The Notorious Bettie Page."
she will be missed.
